But it's not how [other game that came out a decade later] does it, so it's terrible.

To be fair, the developers themselves are pretty happy to market quality of life changes as patch and expansion features. If something isn't as smooth or efficient as it could be then then they likely want to know.
This is also the primary place to leave feedback related to the game and where players are directed to do so. Whether anything posted here is acknowledged or taken on board is another matter entirely.
Again, you guys DO say things that make sense and are agreeable.To be fair, the developers themselves are pretty happy to market quality of life changes as patch and expansion features. If something isn't as smooth or efficient as it could be then then they likely want to know.

As much as I might poke fun at ya'll and as critical as I am of some of the things ya'll say, there are some things I agree with.
And I hope those points get seen and heard....over some of the silly things you guys say
While I am happy to have this for my elezen

They gonna unlock the gender restriction on some of the Mogstation gear and I love it
This made me really happy.
Party buff timers when?
I'm tired of being told to wait for post-patches and expansions for fixes and increased healing requirements that are never coming. Healers are not fun in all forms of content like all jobs should be, they're replaced by tanks and dps due to low healing requirements and their dps kit is small for 0 reason, when in the past we had more options and handled things just fine. I refuse to play healer in roulette come DT. I refuse to heal EXs, I refuse to go into Savage, and I am boycotting Ultimate.

Player
- Game goes offline for a yearI stand by my opinion that I'd be ok with FFXIV going offline for a year
- Revenue plummets
- No funding from other games as they have their own budgets.
- No revenue from FF 14 means no money, means no salaries, means they start laying staff off, means the people you want to do this stuff leave to find other employment..when they finally get back to restarting..those staff are long gone, working elsewhere and cant be recovered, as they are now in new jobs, sure as hell wont quit their new job to come back to a company that laid them off in the first place.
- You cant hand money from other games teams over to FF 14 as that has to be signed off by the CFO and CEO..who allocate budgets for each project , guess what, never the twain shall meet.
If the game shuts down, wheres the money going to come from to keep these staff?
The money from the game pays the salaries of the people you want to not work for a year.

probably take more than a year anyway
Definitely.
Oh and btw, I mentioned budgets?
It may come as a surprise to Aveyond, but companies have budgets for EVERYTHING. No one gets to spend money like water, I worked for two HUGE companies on a contract and they had a budget for stationery. Pens. Paper. Books. Folders. All of it down to the last cent....youd have to convince a CEO, CFO, stakeholders, shareholders, investors AND the comptroller that they should allocate funds from other projects to keep this fictional developement cycle running for a game that is producing zero revenue.
For an ENTIRE YEAR?
Shareholders DO NOT WANT to see a balance sheet drowning in red ink.
Remember ARR?
That one event was a GIGANTIC gamble, that, had it failed, would have been an absolute catastrophe. It worked. Fortunately. Failure would have trashed the company and its entire genre brand irrevocably.
Suggesting that they can just shut down the game and then pour out huge revenue into a game that would be, at that time, a gigantic loss leader?
Now THAT is a fantasy.

I actually do know lolI mean, if you have even the basic cursory knowledge of how gear works on the 3D model end, you'd realize it's far from simple.
They can't just magically flip a switch and suddenly gear works on all races and genders. The 3D model has to undergo re-sculpting in order for it to actually fit the opposite gender's proportions. Otherwise, you'll have mis-matched holes, seams & floating limbs where the different joints of the body match up, since all gear in this game is effectively the equivalent of legos, where even the skin is built into the gear itself and everything has to be made to specific proportions or it won't line up correctly with each other. Especially for female locked gear becoming male, where Roegadyns & Hrothgars share a unique, drastically different body sculpt that almost gear needs heavy editing for.
Before being snarky, its best to get good information on what you're trying to be snarky about. When they have to make hundreds of new models between dungeon/instance/zone assets, gear, vfx and new enemies each patch cycle, sparing time towards re-sculpting old stuff isn't exactly a leisure they can take at a fast pace. They'll unrestrict pieces when they have the time - it is complicated, not impossible.
but yes why put em to do stuff even if they get paid for......w/e defenders.....even with actual proof they wont change...is a waste of time trying to deal with your kind.
BTW i never said it was simple.... shows your reading abilities.
